Polygamy should be legal. Free adults should be allowed to act as free adults.

Forced anything should never be allowed. Let the people who want to live their lives as they see fit do so. Once someone is forced or hurt in the process then look into it.

I meant "qualified" mainly in an economic (not academic) sense - if one can afford to maintain more than one wife (or husband) and everyone consents to the arrangement, what's wrong with it?


There's something we can agree on. Lots of North Americans are living de facto polygamous marriages, they just don't tell the woman they're legally married to that they're banging another chick.

Other than the fact that it's illegal for political reasons, I don't think there's anything essentially wrong with polygamy when done by qualified people without duplicity.


"Illegal for political reasons"?

You mean that other reason, besides the common good, that makes people create laws?

Tell me, what makes someone "qualified" for a polygamous marriage?

I believe rteacher clarified his meaning on the previous page of this thread, and Mindmetoo reproduces the clarification two posts above this one.
